In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been a little behind on my blog posts as of late. I’m a San Francisco Realtor first, and a blogger second. So priority has been taking care of my buyers and sellers. But there’s a teensy calm in the storm (the kind where the forecast is still calling for rain, but you peek outside and see a rainbow knowing that by the time you take off your galoshes, the rain will be back!)

So since I’ve been behind in getting you the data you so desperately crave, here’s three months of it all at once. Hopefully, it’ll be enough to make ammends. And if not, I promise I’ll be around more often for you all.

So here’s this wuarter’s summary of home sales pulled directly from the MLS. Remember, these are all closed sales and not pending sales.

Check back monthly to get the latest facts and figures – and if you have any questions about these statistics, or the market in general, feel free to give me a holler! I’m always happy to talk “real estate!”
